Overview

Lysefjord & Scenic Mountain Road Tour

The tour begins with pickup from Stavanger Port, heading to Lauvvik, where we board a ferry for a scenic cruise through Lysefjord. Along the way, admire dramatic cliffs, waterfalls, and famous landmarks like Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen) and Kjeragbolten, a boulder wedged between two cliffs.

At Lysebotn, a comfortable vehicle awaits to take us up Lyseveien, a mountain road with 27 hairpin bends, leading to Øygardstølen (Eagle’s Nest) for breathtaking fjord views.

We continue to Byrkjedalstunet, where we enjoy traditional Norwegian food and explore handcrafted goods in a unique setting built into the mountainside.

On our way back, we stop at Sverd i Fjell, a monument symbolizing Norway’s unification, before returning to Stavanger Port, filled with unforgettable memories of Norway’s stunning landscapes and rich history.

    Swords in Rock

    Sverd i Fjell – A Monument to Norway’s Viking Legacy ⚔️Rising from the rocky shores of Hafrsfjord near Stavanger, the Sverd i Fjell monument stands as a powerful tribute to one of Norway’s most pivotal moments—the Battle of Hafrsfjord in 872. This was where King Harald Fairhair defeated rival chieftains and united Norway under one rule for the first time, shaping the nation’s history forever.The monument’s three towering bronze swords symbolize peace, unity, and freedom. Planted firmly in solid rock, they serve as a reminder that while Norway was once won through battle, the peace that followed is unbreakable.During our journey, we make a 30-minute stop at this breathtaking site, giving you the perfect opportunity to capture unforgettable photos and experience a piece of Viking history up close.

    (8)

    Q: Will I get seasick on Viking Odyssey?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
